Adventure Sport Shootout

No Vstrom present in the latest MCN Adventure Sport Shootout....I wonder why....

A) It doesn't have twice as much power as most of us need and / or can use on the road?

B) Suzuki don't pay them £ thousands in advertising revenue?

C) Not enough "essential" electronics needed to manage the power / handling?

Or all three?

The bike is enjoyed by those who enjoy it, that it's not in the MCN "test" is a positive for me

Has there ever been a comparison in MCN in recent years where if a BMW featured it didn't win?

[Oop North John]

Not since they massively increased the advertising budget, allegedly, as far as I can remember

I thought they had...once.... or was that the old 1000 or 650 version.

Or was it Suzuki did not want MCN to have one, against the Versys etc?
